Adams’ rise to footballing fame

After making his Blades first-team debut just a month later, he made his name when he came off the bench in the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham Hotspur, scoring twice in the space of four minutes.

He again showed his liking for the big occasion in May 2015 when he netted one of the Blades’ goals in the 5-5 League One play-off second leg against Swindon Town.

And, after signing a new three-year deal last summer, he netted 12 more goals in a Blades career that has so far brought him 54 appearances, 17 of them as a substitute, earning him a lot of interested admirers.
